The only reason I’m giving City Squire two stars as opposed to one is because the service was good and the bartender was lovely. My fiancé and I came here on a Saturday afternoon for dinner and to watch The Masters. We sat at the bar and ordered food, which came out pretty quickly which we were happy about. I ordered their Seasonal Salad with grilled chicken, which was $16 and an additional $6 for the chicken. When it came out, the salad was smaller than that of an appetizer portion, with a tiny amount of arugula and hardly any goat cheese. The grilled chicken was so rubbery I was starting to feel sick while I was eating it. It tasted like I was chewing on rubber and it barely had any flavor. My fiancé got a burger and fries which he enjoyed, and their fries were crispy and seasoned very well. I will not come here and order a salad again, especially for that price and quality.

We hosted a small party for around 30 last night in their beautiful upstairs space. The owner, Aaron worked with us to make sure we had exactly what we wanted and still stayed within our budget. The food was delicious, the service was excellent and the space was warm and inviting. It is so rare to actually get more than expected but City Squire truly hit it out of the park!

Fabulous vegetarian options and great cocktails! They have vegan chicken wings, a vegan belgogi, beyond burgers, a ton of salads, and even a vegetarian steak as the special of the night.

Beautiful pub with friendly staff and many beers on tap. No loud music playing so you can actually have a conversation with your friends and not be “yell-talking” to be heard! My small critique: I wish the bartenders would serve beers in their accompanying branded glasses (or just have no brands on the glass at all). It was a trick of the mind drinking an IPA from a glass labeled “Coors Lite”! :)

Excellent service, warm atmosphere, and a Squire Turkey Club so thick I could barely get my teeth into it. Delicious and delightful place. Plenty of parking, meals about $16 a piece with fancier menu items also.

Each serving was two meals worth. Food was great. Service could have been a little better (no drink refills because they didn't check on us). A little loud with the bar and seating not separated but still a good experience.

Staff was very friendly and food was delicious! The atmosphere is relaxed and cool. We brought our two toddlers with us for a lunch and the way the seating is set up we were able to sit behind the divider so they weren't "at the bar" we would def come back again! Great spot

Overall a great experience. The service was very good. Got the fried chicken sandwich and the only thing that wasn't great was that the chicken itself was under seasoned. The shoe string fries were super tasty and great texture.

Love this place, owners are really nice people. Emailed the restaurant because some friends and I were meeting there to have dinner and drinks and wanted to hang out after we were done eating. They let me make a reservation and the table was ready and waiting for us. Our server was fantastic and very attentive, even though the restaurant had a private event going on in their beautiful upstairs banquet room, and the restaurant portion was jam packed with patrons. The atmosphere is fun and vibrant, there was so much laughter going on, it makes you feel as if you are at a house party! Our food was spectacular as usual. If you have not visited the City Squire, you do not know what you are missing!

We hosted a lunch reception in their upstairs event space. First off the space is beautiful with a full bar and bathrooms all right there. The food was delicious and the staff was very on top of refilling food and clearing dishes. We also had gluten free guest who were accommodated for. Extra bonus was a big parking lot. Working with Aaron was easy and he went above and beyond in his communicating with us to ensure we had everything we needed. I won’t hesitate to host a future event there!
